I am just at a complete loss right now. I had an injection today and its also a week before my period. I have severe PMDD. My therapist said that she can’t really help me this week. My mom is trying her best. I just don’t even know what to do to deal with this unless I stay in bed all day where at least I know I’m safe.
I just have no idea. __________________ Ridin' with Biden |

You know, maybe testosterone isnt a good drug for you. I know youre on a journey, but maybe one dose size doesnt fit all. You are pretty shy about talking about certain issues, and this drug really goes against those tendencies.
Personally, i dont think the answer to "too much estrogen" is "add tons of testosterone." If PMDD is the problem, Prozac can be a solution, or other meds. Not-girl doesnt necessarily mean boy; another option is not-boy, just human. I for one do not understand ultra-feminine or ultra-masculine. But then my parents were kinda weird - my dad was very maternal and my mother was butch as heck. So my gender stuff is totally nonconforming. |

Can I ask what issues I am shy about? I know testosterone is right for me because the thought of my transition is pretty much the only thing keeping me going right now. I think if it weren’t for this stupid virus I’d be in a much different place. But I know so much that this is the right thing for me. I think what I am feeling is fear and uncertainty due to the virus and bad PMDD which has always been a huge issue since I was 13. The injections do cause mood swings. The only time I ever feel like going to the hospital is when I’m dealing with PMDD.

I wouldn’t have gotten the approval of 3 doctors and the gender dysphoria diagnosis if they didn’t think I was serious. Also what issues? Trans right issues or what? I thought we weren’t allowed to bring politics into PC.

I certainly don't have any idea what would be the best thing for you to do. But I simply wanted to leave a brief reply wishing you the best, however you decide to proceed.

No, by issues i just meant anything relating to expressing sexuality.
I just keep thinking along the lines of "'roid rage". A gf of mine, her brother was not a body builder, but he did lift a lot, and he took steroids, and boy he was pretty high strung. I only met him a couple of times, but he always looked like he was just busting out of his skin, out of his teeth. Like he was radiating this energy. To me, it looked painful. I am waaaay more laid back. Waaaaaay more. So im just saying, are the roids jacking you up physically or mentally or emotionally or psychologically, that you didnt expect, and werent particularly looking for? Because you seem more like a calm, planning type of person, like per your diet posts. I guess, im just trying to get you to articulate? Define? What feels so unsafe? That you might need to go to hosp? You dont have to tell me, but i read that your t might not be as available as you need, and there ARE a lot (okay a few) of people here who have walked in your shoes and or had friends in them. Eta - there ya go like skeezyx. Thanks sk! Eta - also not saying youre not serious. Just saying since you had pmdd to begin with, your hormones were extreme to begin with, so are your drs taking that into account somehow? That is, are THEY serious, or are they just giving generic answers? |

No. My doctor explained to me that it would be like going through puberty and menopause at the same time. He explained the mood swings. He also gave me a waiver to go over and check each box that listed possible side effects and what could happen when I take it. And honestly I thought I’d have anger but I don’t. Mostly it’s just bad anxiety which I think could be a number of things.
I don’t talk usually talk about my sexuality although I have talked about some things in the sexuality forum. I am autistic so sex is just not a big deal to me because relationships are just not a big deal to me. __________________ Ridin' with Biden |
